You know, I'd tend to feel better about it really being within statistical norms if so MUCH of this years numbers for the high side hadn't all
concentrated in the last 30-45 days. Stretched about evenly across 12 months, we're in a very active year, but I'd be hard pressed to say it's been
a year to even use the word 'doom' for...just as I'd noted that a couple months back. Err.... Then we get to the last month or two and out of a
period where weeks could go without a 6 event outside the South Pacific where they feel weird NOT having one...to 6+ quakes all over and in some weird
spots given the frequency and timelines.

I'll just be happy when I can turn the page on the wall to 2013 and worry about nothing but the fiscal cliff ahead a couple days later. lol.... Man
made catastrophe is fixable compared to what the Maya and other civilization's thoughts were on this time period. Let it be done....and the sooner
the better with little but wasted prep work and embarassment to show for it.

Thing is that if we ignore 2011 and 2010 because of Japan and Chile, then 2009 exhibited exactly the same pattern with the heaviest months at the end
of the year. 14,12,5,11,6,8,11,19,15,34,14,12

To much hassle to create charts for every year but I have just looked back to 2000 for Mag 6+ and it is visually obvious that the first and last few
months of each year are more heavily populated with quakes than the middle. The only exception to that is 2001. October is a particularly popular
month!

Even 2010 and 2011 do show it but are majorly skewed by the two big quakes as is 2004 to a lesser degree.

Why is the emphasis on the ending being caused by natural events? I thought the worlds armies are on the brink of escalating conflict in the Middle
East, i.e., Syria and then Iran that then leads to WWIII and the end of civilization as we know it?

That wouldn't involve any earthquakes, volcanoes or superstorms but would surely affect the entire planet if a major exchange of ICBM's occurred
among the nuclear armed nations.

MAD is still in effect, I think. The mutual assured destruction of all our enemies at once. And theirs too (meaning us).

Actually for anyone paying attention, it got weird about 5-7yrs ago-- that's when the crazier seismic spikers started.
Not worried tho, California may snap back and get dinged pretty badly if the subduction zone resets...
But I have now fears for Dec 21st, 2012....
(Of your worried, will all your stuff to me come Dec 22nd)
; ))

Something interesting is the fact that Tonagriro erupted for the first time this year in about 115 years I think it was. Funnily enough, another
volcano (White Island) in New Zealand decided to erupt, and while it has been active for some time it was a timely coincidence. Just a day(s)
apart.

Middle East, i.e., Syria and then Iran that then leads to WWIII and the end of civilization as we know it?

Because basically many believe that is what ancient texts said. Of course they also mentioned other kids of destruction in Revelations etc. The source
of the end should it happen could be any, but I cannot track trends in conflicts so I will stick with the natural causes.

T-27 Days and counting

Not really much reportable change to trends today but I have taken the time to present the Mag 6 and Mag 7 events in a better format (time spaced) as
the Mag 7 chart in particular was misleading showing a downward trend.

There are sufficient events in the Mag 4.5 and Mag 5 events to not require spacing by days.

I hav added the formulae for the trend line since otherwise it is difficult to see if a 'flat' trend as in Mag 5s is up or down.

earthquakes

All magnitudes 4.5+ to 23rd Nov inclusive

Mag 4.5-4.9

Mag 5

Mag 6

Mag 7 (Trend up not down)

Volcanoes

No change from Yesterday.

I hope to have a graphical representation later to day or early tomorrow.

As far as I can ascertain these are the volcanoes that are currently erupting.

Tropical Storms/Hurricanes

He's one of those disinformation agents.
I can smell a disinfo scam from a mile away, I tell ya.

He's just trying to get us to stay all cozy in our beds so that when the New Madrid opens up and sucks us all in, THEY will meet THEIR death quota of
killing off all the needless eaters !

This is the climax of all doomsdays people, Dec 21st - Lest We Forget...

The OP has been working his charms up until this point pretending to be all helpful and friendly and such so that he can finally push forth his TRUE
agenda.

Don't buy into the propaganda !
Deny ignorance !

Frankly I think having this one thread would have been enough. After all, it says "T -28 Days and counting" in the title. If people can't figure
out that means "28 days to go and counting down" then they need some pretty basic schooling.

Also I might get rather tedious if we have to hunt back through over twenty threads to see what happened on preceding days. As ATS is set up to allow
threads of pretty well any length, why not just keep it all in one? You can put an nice bright yellow header in the first post of each day of the
countdown to let folks know where we are.

Finally, from the point of view of posterity, again it would be far simpler to have a single reference thread rather than two-and-a-half dozen. Of
course, if the world ends on Dec 21/22, then posterity takes a back seat (oblique pun), but otherwise it will be a great thread to refer back to when
the next end-of-the-world date gets offered up by someone and is cyberly spread hither and yon by his/her devoted followers and/or marketing agency.

About the hurricanes -- or to be more accurate, severe tropical cyclones: as they are seasonal anyway, we're most likely to see very few in the
Atlantic for the rest of this calendar year, but there should be an uptick in their numbers in the Pacific, especially south of the equator. It would
take something most extraordinary to cause any significant changes to that pattern.

But all the same, might as well have them listed just in case the most extraordinary does occur.

The quake trend data are absolute gold. Many, many thanks for keeping those up to date. I find it interesting that the 6-range ones seem to be
trending upwards, but as I mentioned somewhere before, it would help if we could also perhaps have some details of eg western side of the ring of fire
events vs eastern side. Can that be done or is it a huge headache to set up?
